the gps goes out when you go into tunnels
Probably already posted but when you go into a tunnel you lose gps reception. When I seen that happen I said WOW.
Three wise monkey pose that Micheal, Trevor and Franklin took in one of the missions. Very subtle.
The world feels full of life, but the lack of interiors is really disappointing. There aren't even any fast food places that you can enter.
Try the OT, I think there was a lot of stocks discussion thereDriving with Trevor and having a Britney Spears song come on and him immediately saying to change the station/song because it sucked. Had Mikes Son change the station on me to listening to some Classic Rock while driving to go ride bikes.
ps.. is this the thread that talked about buying the HAL stock? Because I went in on some. Anyways.. lot's of GT threads. Not sure which one I saw that in.
After loosing my 3 Stars and still driving around the hood watching the Police chopper search light looking for me still.
As Trevor I was abusing an NPC ( pressing the right DPAD button near them) which caused Trevor to insult them.
After 2 insults the woman said she is gonna call the police, did it one more time and she called the police.
Not sure why but this totally random moment just made me so happy.
The first few hours of GTA V was amazing for me because I almost felt like I was actually visiting CA and it was a great feeling.
I don't know the characters' names yet, but Franklin's friend tells you during the very first mission/meetup that you need a new haircut, and if you get a new haircut by the second mission, he comments on it. I thought that was a cool touch.
Also the ambient sounds in the game is pretty incredible, whether in the city or in the wild.
It just sounds so good and alive ( headphones required)
clothes get wet.
Had a pretty fucked-up moment when I was playing as Michael last night. I was in his house to change his clothes for a mission, when I hear some weird noises from the bathroom. It's his daughter throwing up, alluding to her bulimia (Michael talks about it in one of the meetings with a psychiatrist). Michael then told her "you don't have to do that" and she says "no father wants a fat daughter". That's some mentally scarring shit.
Also, when driving and going through character dialog for the story - If you crash or are interrupted by the car flipping the dialog stops. Rockstar fixed a small gripe I had when you get interrupted by whatever may be happening and simply pausing the dialog. So anyone could be in the middle of a sentence and the car crashes head on to a wall. The game smartly stops the talk and resumes shortly after when things are back to normal. It makes things very cohesive and believable and also doesn't hinder you from missing dialog bits since in the past the car would make lot noise or there would be ambient noise or some explosion and the audio would interfere with the voice. In this new method they've implemented it feels much more realistic since it's not very realistic for normal dialog to continue when you run head on to a wall or something.
The little details.
Did anyone catch the radio commercial about how Americans don't like soccer cause there isn't enough commercial breaks and timeouts lol.
The sound design in this game is phenomenal.
.
I notice this too.I agree, but I got a new speakers just before the game came out and all I can hear now is the terrible compression on the voices. I understand they have to put a lot on a disc but it sounds so compressed! I can't unhear it
i switched to trevor and he was burying something, hah.I've been impressed with the random character switching. I usually get moments where Michael and Franklin are interacting with other people when I switch. One time Franklin was holding Lamar back from fighting 2 guys, another time Michael was sitting on the beach and being yelled at by a lifeguard to put his cigarette out (I believe his words were "look around this whole place is a fucking ashtray").
I still haven't unlocked Trevor yet but I can't wait to see what his random moments are. I bet they're wild.
One of the most prominent small touches for me was the clinking of the car when it's turned off - such an awesome touch! Overall, though is game was crafted with love and care -- very evidently so.
I may have misheard, but:
I chased down some Lost gang members after they robbed a a guy and when I returned to him, he was on the phone with someone (maybe 911). As I'm driving up to return his money, he (pretty sure it was him) says to the person on the phone "Oh, hold on, here comes someone," as if he were telling the person on the phone that he was just robbed.
